| Active international for more than 26 years, Yvetta Pass has extensive experience in the design, implementation and management of humanitarian aid, development projects and Results-based Management (RBM) for international development programming. Before joining DFATD in 1999, Yvetta worked with UNHCR in the field for 7 years. During this time she gained extensive experience in war-torn areas, including peace and conflict resolution (Croatia & Bosnia during the war), and in emergency situations (Croatia, Bosnia, Guinea - West Africa, and Myanmar) as well as monitoring. During her first five years in DFATD, she managed humanitarian and development projects. In 2005 she became an RBM advisor focusing on the application of RBM at the project and country program level, developing or contributing to the development of RBM methodology, training and guiding material. Today she is the manager of the recently established RBM Centre of Excellence in DFATD's Policy Branch. |
